2022 International Cinephile Society awards nominations announced
Updated: Jan 23
The International Cinephile Society celebrates its 20th annual awards this year with 20 nominees for Best Picture! Leading all nominees is Charlotte Wells' Aftersun, which claims ten nods across the ICS' 18 categories, while Albert Serra's Pacifiction is right behind it with nine. Both are up for top awards Best Picture, Director, Actor and Original Screenplay. Six of the group's Top 20 for the year are directed by women, which, should it translate into next week's Oscar nominees, would make for three out of their ten: sadly, an unlikely prospective. Winners for the ICS' 20th awards will be announced on 12 February. You can see all the nominees below.
